OPERATIONS UNDER USUAL CONDITIONS
Sidewall can be configured in three different ways:
n
All walls down.
n
Cloth walls rolled up with screen walls down.
n
Both cloth walls and screen walls rolled up.
b. Attach vertical Fabric Sections together with hook and loop fasteners and buckles on flaps.
c. Staking sidewalls and poles:
(1) Locate the 12-inch polycarbonate stakes.
(2) Locate the rope loops at the base of the Side Walls.
(3) Rope loops at side and end pole locations, should be looped over stake tubes.
(4) A stake should be driven through both the rope loop and stake tube.
(5) After stakes have been driven at all pole locations, find the remaining rope loops.
(6) All remaining rope loops should be staked using the 12-inch polycarbonate stakes.
Do not drive 12-inch stakes all the way into
the ground; leave them about two inches
out. This will make it easier to remove the
stakes.
(7) Tie sidewalls to poles using straps attached to tent fabric at pole locations.
(8) At wall intersections, stake rope loops must pass through all four layers of fabric and
grommets.
